  • To work closely with children, families, carers, and colleagues in partnership agencies to identify individualized and meaningful goals that are measurable and achievable.
  • To plan and implement individual and/or group interventions in collaboration with everyone involved, but with the child's health and well-being needs and wishes at the forefront.
  • To advise on and prescribe specialist, assistive equipment at home, school, and community settings to support the child and improve or maintain occupational performance.
